It has by far the best gameplay of the trilogy. I thought we care about gameplay over story?

because the gameplay built up a great story only to trash things in the end.
also the demake releases were full of problems, even if they sped up the snail elevator loading experience from ME1

If you want really good TPS gameplay you're not gonna look for it in any version of Mass Effect, so whichever version has the best gameplay it's just a bonus really.

This.
I'd rather play a janky third person tactical shooter with tons of powers than a shitty Gears clone.

It has the worst RPG gameplay thoughbeit. Most of the time your dialogue options are
>paragon
>renegade
>neutral
And the dialogue wheel they came up with specifically for the purpose of showing 6 options at a time is completely fucking barren.

They really stripped down the RPG mechanics of 1 by the second game. So that is not an argument. You mean the shooting feels better? maybe. Otherwise it let the whole story down.

true, but overall Mass Effect is a mediocre TPS
anybody playing it for the gameplay over the story is looking in the wrong place, and 3's writing is the weakest in the trilogy because of how stretched the game is.

Like others said yes best third person cover based shooter out of the three games. But fuck everything else. It had moments of greatness storywise if you were into that but they were few and far between.

>moments of greatness
it just had too much ground to cover in terms of wrapping plot threads up that it was impossible to actually deliver on everything in a satisfying way
it's the fault of ME2 for not serving as a true midpoint in the trilogy, forcing you into a glorified sidequest that really doesn't make sense considering that the Reapers creating themselves from the cells of captured organics is never expanded upon or even visible in ME3.

He obviously meant the gunplay, no one's arguing that it's the weakest game story-wise

Good gameplay only makes RPGs serviceable at best. The genre demands more than your average slop.

Ending and frankly the main story in general. Side stuff was ok or even great, combat is decent too.

The only good part of the gameplay was the multiplayer because it wasn't limited by the dogshit main game.
